: Windows CE (typically version 5.0 or 6.0).
: NAVIGON Fresh would identify the model and check for available map or firmware updates.
Because official servers are offline, community-driven methods are the only remaining way to update maps. These typically involve:
A patched update is rarely a plug-and-play installer. It usually involves manually copying system files. If you copy the wrong Language.dll or an incompatible Navigon.exe version for the MN 3.2 kernel, your device will freeze on the startup logo.
Ensure all files in the map folder share the exact same release version code.
Unlike Garmin (which uses .unl files) or TomTom (which uses .dct files), the Navigon community relied on pre-patched executables ( navigon.exe ) that disabled the signature check. The "patched" nature of the scene meant that the navigon.exe file was replaced with a cracked version that ignored the "Canada" lock and allowed the Europe map to load.
Replace the existing license.nfs or license.xml file with the patched version provided in your download package. This is what allows the "patched" map update to work. 5. Safe Eject and Restart Safely remove the device from the computer. Restart the Navigon 310
: Replacing the original Navigon.exe and corresponding resource folders with the patched version compatible with newer map releases.
: Your Navigon Canada 310 will continue to work in its current state with the maps already installed, but it cannot be officially updated. Unofficial Community Workarounds
Locate the Navilib.ini or similar initialization file in the root directory of your device or SD card. Open the file using a standard text editor (like Notepad).
: Core files including CoreResources.nfs , MapDrawer.nfs , and RealityView.nfs .
What is the of the microSD card you plan to use?
Provides photo-realistic junction views at highway exits.
If you are struggling to find the correct nfs files or the map download, it's recommended to check reputable GPS enthusiast forums like GPSPower or dedicated German forums like Digital Eliteboard.
As of December 1, 2020, all by Garmin. This means that official map updates, software patches, and the NAVIGON Fresh service are no longer available or supported for devices like the Canada 310.
Before modifying your GPS hardware, it is crucial to understand the technical and legal landscape of legacy device modification. The Legal and Risk Disclaimer
: Downloads labeled "patched" or "cracked" on unofficial forums often carry significant risks, including malware or bricking your device.
: Newer maps are significantly larger than original files. You may need a larger SD card, though many older devices are limited to 2GB or 4GB cards.
